On September 24, 2016, we gathered to celebrate NBA’s legacy at a Staff Reunion brunch, with more than 50 former NBA employees attending. Former NBA administrators Leon Whitney and Dr. Norma Ellington-Twitty welcomed the group, and current NBA president Mark Anderson introduced current staff and shared a brief presentation on NBA’s ministry today. We opened the new NBA office for tours and enjoyed a photo booth and a variety of memorabilia shared by the former staff.
As Dr. Ellington-Twitty, former VP of Program Planning and Evaluation, reflected, “Even though the programs of NBA have changed, and the structure is different, NBA stands for something…there is a sense of oneness, that we are NBA—past, present, and future.”
